Bled White

Lyrics

Elliott Smith

I'm a color reporter (rose city on the 409)But the city's been bled white (white city on the yellow line)And the doctor orders (drinking till he's trashed is just a waste of time)He drinks all night to take away this curseBut it makes me feel much worse

Bled white

So I wait for the f-train (white city on the yellow line)And connect through a friend of mine (white city to a friend of mine)To a yesterdaydream (yesterday a dream was just a waste of time)'Cause I'll have to be high to track the sunset downAnd paint this pailing town

Bled white

So here he comes with a blank expressionEspecially for me 'cause he knowsI feel the same'Cause happy and sad come in quick successionI'm never going to becomeWhat you became

Don't you dare disturb me (don't complicate my piece of mind)While I'm balancing my past (don't complicate my piece of mind)'Cause you can't help or hurt me (the anger, being mean was just a waste of time)Like it already has, it may not seem quite rightBut I'm not fucked, not quite
